PWPH EVENING BULLETIN, OOTOBUlt M, 1895 f V I.M'llli: CIMM.IIIIA IIOM'll'.l I.. I Slmctipllitn f Mm rrrnliiirnl UiiimIj Work liy llu AllrnilniilK, A v sit w s iimdu to the oliolonv inospital by u representative of thu DuMiKtin on Thuisduy Inst.

Tlio sull'oror was fir.t taken to tho receiving room whoro all cloth ii g was romovod, clean jnightclothos, properly disinfected, tuimslud. mid the primary tio.it ment with tnnio ncid solution given. From thi room, which 18 nt tin imikni end nf olio of tlio two long buildings used for patients before either do id or convalescent, tlio sick ones wcio takou to ono nf tho other twonty one npaitinonts and there tlio cnurso of trentinont wascontinuod. When tho lbieo of the disoaso had bo u broken nnd iminediite dan ger passed they woro t;ikon to tho convalescent ward, whoro they re mained until discharged. Tlio .convnloscont wind is sopniato from other structures, as is tho ono containing tho largo room known as tho "inorguo" whoro "bodies woro laid cut after death. Tho two main hospital build ang aio just alike, long, low afl'aiis, standing side by sido and containing olevon rooms ouch. Tlioy aio numbered one totwouty two. No. 1 is tho receiving zoom. Father Valentino occupied Nn.'JU and C.L.Dodge died in No.ili. Prank Godfrey wan placod in tho large room adjoining tho inorguo. Thoro is no communication be tween tho two rooms; no door or window; so that Mr. Godfrey's .story of "sleeping next to c.ida vor's ' loses all its grucsomoncss when otio loarus the real facts. The origin of tho ' burying alivo"yrn is as follows: A Jnpi noso pntif.it died and sotno little tinio afterward the condition of tho body, whilo lying in tho inoigup, cau-ed a muscular con traction, very slight and a very common occurronco. Gndfroy went in to look at tho corpse and immediately repotted that the in an was not (load, as he had scon him move. Tho matter was soon explained. The medicine which the natives called "poison" was a simplo mixture of brandy and milk. Ono uf the eil'ects of choleraic troublo is to impoverish tho ."bloou. through removal of tho valine matter it contains. A hypodormic ii'jccti"ii of neutral dalts aids in restoring its condi tion. For oijiht dayB aftor tho ontry of the first caso Chas. J. Whitney was in charge. Aftor thnt Armstrong Smith su porintonded, and Mr. Whitnty be can.o hi" ussistant. TliOhO first oight days woro n terrific strain on the systems of the nurscs.inan .ager and, in fact, all connected "with tho hospital. H.ird work.j loss of sleep, and almost total lack of proper rest, wore them out ono -and till. Besides, the disagroenblo iiatuio of tho labor only aggra vated tho arduousuess of the task. In spito of this, thoro was no -complaining, no shirking of tho porformanco of any duty, no .matter how mouial or rovoltiugits mature. Especial praiso is duo to ihe entiro force. All the doctois, patients and others spoak in glowing terms of '.Mr. "Whitney, who had suoli a sovero burden laid upon him; of Dr. Myors, Messrs. Gibson and Lawrence; of Ii ui'-n and Lizzio, who did splendid work amongst tho natives, On August HI, a c.is-o came in during thu ovening, and three more botweon ton and jlevon tho noy.t morning.

As to the physioians, they all did everything po'-siblo, mi uy of thorn overworking them selves to a degree which seriously endangered their health.
